That means this is a little more subdued, as enemies fire away with various guns, and Gojiro strikes back with his sword(s). It can be frustrating, especially with the boss fights. Their attacks rarely pull above cheap, and if you're unable to power-up with a number of special maneuvers, be prepared for a long, aggravating struggle.
This is all made worse by simply absurd voice samples, as all three taunts in the game fly every few seconds. That's in no way an exaggeration, and coming close to the games end, it could be too much to take. The only advantage it has is allowing players to locate enemies, though the radar does that just fine.
Even through all the complaints, all the aggravation, and all the frustrations, Samurai Western still does what it does better than most games. Yes, it's tough to go back to such simplistic action gaming like this after the expansive God of War, but Western proves there is still a place for this style of game. They're easy to pick up, maintain the retro feel of the genre, and are fast paced enough to maintain interest. If you're a fan of beat-em-ups from their heyday, this is the type of game you've been craving for some time.
